Soundtrack Revival: The Pointer Sisters Blow Up on Spotify
The main track used in the trailer, "Hot Together" by The Pointer Sisters, saw a 182,000% spike in streams following the video’s release.
Spotify’s Sulinna Ong commented:
"Grand Theft Auto cuts through pop culture like few things can. Music has always been part of its DNA."
The song is a deep cut from a band best known for I’m So Excited, giving newer fans a nostalgic flashback and older fans a reason to turn up the volume.
GTA 6 Release Date Confirmed
Rockstar has officially marked May 26, 2026 as the launch date for GTA 6 on consoles. That gives us just over a year to gear up—and the demand is already surging.

Here’s where things get murky. While console players will get their hands on GTA 6 next May, Rockstar has not confirmed a PC release window.
Looking at past patterns:
Rockstar Title | Console Launch | PC Release |
---|---|---|
GTA V | Sep 2013 | Apr 2015 |
RDR2 | Oct 2018 | Nov 2019 |
